Topic: Vizner lens vase (Read 2665 times)

I have a vase that looks exactly like the Frantisek Vizner lens vase pattern no 3236 from the CD accompanying Marcus Newhall's book. The only thing is, on the CD, it gives heights of 185mm and 230mm, and the vase I have is 280mm tall. It still has 4 rows of lenses, all clear. Is this just a variation on the same vase, or does it have a different pattern no?All info welcomed.Thank-you.

Originaly all pieces has been designed by Frantisek in clear. Matting was made in factory without asking artist, but it is still the same pattern. I have all clear, staggered matting or all lenses matted as well.J.

Hi,I have just measured the vase, it is 275mm tall, diameter is 105mm across the top and 75mm across the base.I have attached a photo.Very exciting if I have a vase you have not documented before!ThanksK

Just to confirm sizes, I have the larger one too. Here is a photo of all four designs for relative size. I have just arrived home from a long motorway drive and too much coffee (I am feeling very twitchy) so the photo is not the best.

Thank you very much K and John, this information is new for me, I will check with Frantisek whether he knows about this size. Originaly this shape was designed 230 tall, 106 width at top. If possible I would like to please anybody who has this giant size for selling it to me. I can also axchange this piece for another Vizner or Sklo Union piece. I would like have complete Vizner's pressed glass collection.
